Roger Clemens left the Red Sox more than a decade ago. On Wednesday night, he left them scratching their heads. Clemens shut down his original team, allowing only two hits and out-pitching a much younger ace in leading the Yankees to a 4-3 victory over Boston. Alex Rodriguez hit his major league-leading 44th home run, and the Yankees got another big hit from Johnny Damon to earn their second consecutive win in the series. New York trimmed Boston's cushion to six games in the AL East and moved within a percentage point of Seattle for the wild-card lead.
